General News of Wednesday, 27 November 2019Source: Myjoyonline.comReligion has failed as a mechanism to combat crime - Security AnalystSecurity Analyst, Adam BonaaSecurity Analyst, Adam Bonaa, says that religion has completely failed in combating and dealing with crime. The 2018 Ghana Prison Statistics revealed that over 50 percent of prison inmates are Christians with a total of 4,813 Christian prisoners. Traditional religion came third with 1,029 prisoners, other religion followed with 964 prisoners and the least recorded based on religious ranking were non-religious with 419 persons. Mr. Bonaa also urged religious leaders to put in place measures that will ensure efficient rehabilitation which will equip ex-convicts with requisite skills for personal development. “So I believe that Christian and Muslim leaders will have to conduct more research to unearth what they are teaching their congregants,” he stated.
